Exclusive: Michael Condrey issues statement over recent leak from beta files; first look at new London Map

Earlier this morning, a post was shared on Reddit which contained massive new information about Call of Duty: WWII’s Zombies mode. Some users have searched through the beta files of the Call of Duty: WWII PC Beta to try and find details about Call of Duty: WWII that have not yet been announced and shared those details on Reddit. We refrained from posting due to the amount of spoilers the post did contain.

There were details about how Zombies weapons, exclusive features, and more would work in the leak. Because of the extent of the leak, Michael Condrey sent a statement about it.

From Michael Condrey, Co-Studio Head of Sledgehammer Games:

“Call of Duty: WWII has been in development for nearly three years, and we’re now less than a month before launch. We can’t wait for fans to experience it on November 3rd.  With Betas, there’s always the risk that some people will try and spoil that experience for others. We have had a couple things leak recently across multiplayer and zombies. It’s disappointing for everyone involved in creating the game. But, in the spirit of transparency, we want to be up front about it. Some of the details were inaccurate, early, or still subject to change. Others we would consider spoilers. We never plan for leaks, but we also understand that it’s hard for fans not to read the news when it’s about something they are so excited to learn more about.”

Michael Condrey also talked about the recent MP leaks from the Call of Duty: WWII PC beta, including the new Gridiron MP mode, which is going to be SHG’s boots on the ground take of Uplink mode.

“We are super proud of the game and cannot wait to play it with the community, so please hang on for a bit as November 3rd is almost here. In the meantime, here’s a first look at our London map in multiplayer. It’s a studio favorite for domination, hardpoint, and TDM, and we think it could be a standout for the competitive season ahead.  Also, it’s a lot of fun for the new Gridiron game mode coming at launch, here’s a taste.”

Here’s the first images of the all new London MP map, as well as the Gridiron mode, mentioned by Condrey:

Call of Duty: WWII is available in just 4 weeks — on November 3. Stay tuned for the latest news leading up to launch.
